                        FEBRUARY 26, 1999

Code, relating to private security services.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1252, Peace.  Private security services.
   Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of persons
engaged in private security services, including persons engaged as
private patrol operators.  Existing law requires that the business of
each licensee be operated under the active direction, control,
charge, or management, in this state, of the licensee, if he or she
is qualified, or the person who is qualified to act as the licensee's
manager, if the licensee is not qualified.
   This bill would additionally require any licensee conducting
business in this state whose primary office is located outside the
state to maintain an office in this state operated under the active
direction, control, charge, or management of a qualified manager, and
to maintain at the office in this state all records required under
the provisions governing private security services and under rules
adopted by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.
   Existing law makes it a crime to violate any of the provisions
governing private security services which relate to private patrol
operator licensure.  By adding to those provisions new requirements
regarding the maintenance by licensees, including private patrol
operators, of an office in the state and the retention of records at
that office, this bill would expand the scope of an existing crime,
thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state.  Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 7582.22 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   7582.22.  (a) The business of each licensee shall be operated
under the active direction, control, charge, or management, in this
state, of the licensee, if he or she is qualified, or the person who
is qualified to act as the licensee's manager, if the licensee is not
qualified.  Any licensee conducting business in this state whose
primary office is located outside of this state shall do both of the
following:
   (1) Maintain an office in this state operated under the active
direction, control, charge, or management of a qualified manager.
   (2) Maintain at the office in this state all records required
under this chapter and under rules adopted by the bureau.
   (b) No person shall act as a qualified manager of a licensee until
he or she has complied with each of the following:
   (1) Demonstrated his or her qualifications by a written or oral
examination, or a combination of both, if required by the director.
   (2) Made a satisfactory showing to the director that he or she has
the qualifications prescribed in Section 7582.8 and that none of the
facts stated in Section 7582.24 or 7582.25 exist as to him or her.

  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because the
only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district
will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction,
eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime
or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government
Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of
Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
